We don’t need Clarity Act to proceed as the agencies have gone ahead without it.
CFTC and SEC Issue Statement Clarifying That Mining, Protocol Staking, Airdrops and Wrapping of non security tokens Are Not Securities.
🚨 Perplexity just made every AI company look stupid with one announcement.
They're shipping a Mac mini that never turns off. You plug it in, leave it on, and it works through your files, apps, emails, calendar, 24 hours a day. While you sleep, while you eat, while you're on vacation, it's working.
> A full-time employee with a power cord sitting next to your coffee mug with no salary, no sick days, no meetings about meetings.
> Your company pays you $80K a year to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Perplexity just offered them something that works 24/7 and probably costs less than your monthly health insurance.
But the part that gave me chills is the name. They called it "Personal Computer."
The last time someone used that name was IBM in 1981. That machine killed typewriters, killed secretaries, killed filing clerks, killed an entire generation of office jobs.
They didn't call this an "assistant" or a "copilot." They named it after the thing that already replaced millions of jobs once before.
Same name. Same playbook. Different body count.
And they know exactly what they're doing.
Told my wife that Goldman Sachs is now saying to allocate 1-2% into crypto and she asked if thats what we are doing.
I said "HONEY WE ARE 99% CRYPTO 1% GROCERY MONEY AND I STILL FEEL UNDEREXPOSED"
🚨The CEO of Coinbase just said something nobody's taking seriously enough.
AI agents will outnumber humans in transactions. Soon.
> "They can't open bank accounts. No ID. No SSN. Banks literally cannot serve them."
> "But they already own crypto wallets."
So the biggest economy of the next decade won't run through banks at all. It'll run through blockchains. Not because crypto won. Because banks physically can't onboard a customer that isn't human.
Banks weren't built for what's coming.
My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.
A man deposits $10,000 in a bank.
The bank thanks him and records the deposit on its balance sheet. But not where you might expect. For the bank, that $10,000 is actually a liability – because technically it belongs to the customer and might have to be returned.
So the bank does what banks do. It lends $9,000 of that money to someone buying a car.
Now something interesting happens. The $9,000 loan appears on the bank’s books as an asset – because someone now owes the bank money.
So the same $10,000 is doing two jobs at once. The depositor believes he has $10,000 safely in the bank. The borrower now has $9,000 to spend.
That $9,000 gets deposited somewhere else. The next bank lends $8,100. That gets deposited again. Then $7,290 gets lent out.
Soon the original $10,000 has quietly turned into tens of thousands of dollars of loans scattered across the economy.
Everyone believes they have money. Depositors see balances in their accounts. Borrowers have the money they spent. Banks show healthy assets on their balance sheets because people owe them money.
And here’s the best part.
Banks charge interest on all those loans – maybe 7%. But the depositor who supplied the original money might earn only 0.5% on their savings account.
So banks collect interest on money that mostly wasn’t theirs to begin with – and keep the difference.
The system works beautifully.
As long as nobody asks for the money back at the same time.
Let me make this very clear: Big Banks (think JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc.) are lobbying overtime to block Americans from getting higher yields on their savings—while trying to block any rewards or perks from being given to customers.
These banks, and others, pay rock-bottom rates on standard savings (often 0.01%–0.05% APY), even as the Fed pays them 4% or more. This massive spread fuels record profits, with almost none passed back to their customers / everyday depositors.
Today, the banks are desperately targeting crypto/stablecoins, where platforms plan to offer 4–5%+ yields or rewards. The ABA and other lobbyists are spending millions trying to ban or restrict those yields via bills like the Clarity Act, crying “fairness” and using words like "stability"—when it's really about protecting their low-rate monopoly and preventing deposit flight. This is anti-retail, anti-consumer, and straight-up anti-American.
Next time you see a big bank dropping billions on a shiny new Midtown Manhattan HQ, you know exactly where that money comes from: the non-existent interest rate they “pay” you!
Fortunately, the big banks are losing this fight as customers wake up to the games…

Everyone is debating whether the Iran strikes are justified. I want to talk about what comes after. Iran has 90 million people, one of the most educated populations in the Middle East, world class engineers, a young generation that grew up on VPNs and banned Instagram accounts hungry for connection with the West. Under the regime, all of that talent has been buried under theocracy and sanctions. A free Iran is not just a geopolitical win. It is the biggest market opening since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Imagine Iranian startups, Iranian universities unchained, Iranian women building companies instead of hiding their hair from morality police. The same country that invented algebra and gave the world Avicenna has been reduced to exporting terror and executing dissidents. Every entrepreneur should be rooting for regime change in Tehran. Not because of politics. Because 90 million talented people deserve to build, create, and trade with the world. That is what liberation actually looks like.
The “Big Banks”—the very institutions that have held a monopoly and screwed their customers for years, offering near-zero yields on retail Money Market Accounts while crushing low-balance accounts with exorbitant fees—are now doing everything they can to block the Crypto industry from offering real benefits, perks, and rewards on their platforms.
They are the greatest hypocrites and are in mass panic given they know they are losing the digital finance race! @worldlibertyfi
This Is HORRIFYING. It should horrify all of us. 😫😫😫😫
Interesting the same people in the USA and UK who grift for money from slavery over a century ago. NEVER talk about what’s happening now and nor do they care
‘And who is that, mother?’
‘That's your great-great-grandfather, son.
He bought whole #Bitcoin for our family in the mid twenties of the 21st century.’
‘Whole Bitcoin? My friends always talk about a few satoshi. How much is a whole Bitcoin?’
‘One hundred million, son, one hundred million.’
There are 32+ countries with 0% crypto tax. Most people can't name three.
So I built CryptoTax Map.
168 countries. All tax rates. Regulatory trends. Planning tools. One place.
→ See every country's crypto tax rate at a glance
→ Compare up to 3 countries side by side
→ Plan your second residency with the Strategy tool
→ Track which countries are getting friendlier (or worse) since 2020
→ Filter by what matters: 0% tax, privacy, Bitizenship, FATCA, CARF
I built it because I needed it myself.
